Trust God...for real!

God can handle it even when we don’t see how! – R. Murray  

The Red Sea parting was a physical impossibility in the eyes of the Israelites and Egyptians – but God works outside physical limitations. Hmm!  

If we take a minute to think about it, the sun rose this morning like clockwork and we had nothing to do with it. And it will eventually pass through the day and nightfall will come and we can’t prevent it. God has been doing this and many other miraculous things since the beginning of time. And not only is He involved in nature, but He wants to be involved in every detail of our lives as well. We often say “I know who holds tomorrow/future” referring to God, but the proof of our faith is in our ‘casting all of our cares on Him.” God has been in the ‘delivery’ business since He put man on the earth, so though we may not see how our situation can be worked out, it can; we need to just trust Him a bit longer.  

Until tomorrow…..

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” – Hebrews 10:23

God Can!

There is no situation so chaotic that God cannot from that situation, create something that is surpassingly good. He did it at creation, he did it at the cross, and he’ll be doing it today. – H. C. G. Moule 

The parting of the Red Sea, water from a rock, manna from heaven, feeding 5,000 - you get the idea here! 

Oftentimes when we’re up against life, and our circumstances or relationships are overbearing and taxing us, or our resources are thread-bare and stressing us, we forget about the God who has brought us thus far, or we feel like He can’t handle this one. But if earth has no problems heaven can’t solve we must keep trusting Him in all situations, and see things from His perspective and purpose, knowing that His purposes are always for our good. 

Until Monday..….

P.S. - We will have the 'Wedding Blessing' for John and Carlisa this Sunday after services. I'm sure they would appreciate your support and prayers.

Let Go and Let God

For true peace of mind, you must resign as General Manager of the universe. – L. Eisenberg 

Jethro, Moses’ father-in-law gave him some sound advice on trying to rule God’s people - 'trust it to God'! 

Whether we want to believe it or not God created the universe and all therein BEFORE he created us, therefore we neither have the know-how or wherewithal to run it, though we often try. God also created each individual unique to HIS specifications to serve His purposes, not ours. Everything may not go our way today, but as the day unfolds I pray we see His hand at work at be at peace with it. 

Until tomorrow…..

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7
